One way or another, I've written or worked with writers all my life -- I've made a living at various times as a reporter, columnist, editor, blogger and book author. (Most of the time it's been a combination of some or all of those things.)
I am a writer, editor, and consultant based in Brooklyn, N.Y. I spent more than 12 years at The Wall Street Journal Online, where I wrote the "Real Time" column about technology and co-wrote "The Daily Fix," a daily roundup of great sportswriting. I've also worked as the Web evangelist for EidosMedia, a Milan-based maker of innovative editing-and-publishing software. I explore the future of journalism in the digital age at my blog Reinventing the Newsroom (www.reinventingthenewsroom.com) and co-write Faith and Fear in Flushing (www.faithandfearinflushing.com), a blog about the New York Mets, with my friend Greg Prince. (Both blogs are available for your Kindle.) As a member of the Poynter Review project, I serve as an ombudsman for ESPN.
Oh, and I like Star Wars.
Whether you're writing about your own characters, an imaginary galaxy, a nearby baseball team, the perils of journalism or the promise of technology, the path to becoming a successful writer is the same: Write every day, learn from other writers and from good editors, push your writing to make sure it's as clear and engaging as possible, and value every form of writing you get to do.

Please get this book! This book has all the Jedis and all the Siths, and all the alien monsters that come out of the ground, and all the ships. It is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~ (written by Devin, age 7)
The Visual Guide - Ultimate Battles offers the Clone Wars fan a great look at images of the significant battles in Seasons I and II. This book is a follow-up to The Clone Wars: The Visual Guide. As is true with Mr. Fry's previous book, Ultimate Battles is loaded with shots from the series and explanations of the action. All of the main battles are shown, and significant sections of the book cover weapons, troops, and key characters.
As you would expect, the book is heavily visual, and the illustrations are outstanding. You can ponder at length many of the scenes that you have watched on the TV show. The presentation of the material in the book is excellent, and the quality is first-rate.
If you like Clone Wars, you are certain to enjoy this book.
The Star Wars animated series, Clone Wars, is a breath of fresh air on TV these days. There are no snotty kids, no absentee parents, no terrible animation, just good quality, story and art. What else would you expect, however.
Mr Fry has produced a book that is ideal for kids aged 5-70 who love Star Wars. The text is aimed at a younger age level, but the graphics and additional information is welcome. I have not seen many of the Clone Wars episodes, but thank DK for such a volume that provides pertinent information on them.
The graphics are drawn from the series, and the factoids are suitable. It is easy to tell this book 'suffers' from tight editing. (ha!)
With Clone Wars a hit on TV, and books like this, it will be around for a long time.
Kudos. Does this mean that volume 2 will be out next year?
This book is really filled with lots of information about The Clone Wars. If you are a fan of the series you should definately check this book out. It is mostly about Season 1 but has a few pages from Season 2. I really enjoy this book and reccommend it to all Star Wars fans!
I loved this book.It has spoilers from Season 2 but gives extensive knowledge from Season 1 like Hondo's gang origins,Cad Bane's equipment etc.It only lets out .1% of Season 2 so it still may surprise fans of Clone Wars.
